\"Enjoy-life\"<\/a>Over the last few weeks I\u2019ve really come to appreciate what\u2019s really important. Before I got sick, I was dashing\u00a0through life doing a job, running errands, taking care of animals, making sure the bills got paid, going to bed just to get up the next day to do it all again.<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve been home for over a week from rehab, my priorities are very different. I do two sets of both my Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy (yes, I\u2019m up to two sets now) daily. The Speech and Cognitive Therapist was here yesterday and we built a daily schedule to get my higher\/executive decision-making functions back on track.<\/p>\n

This includes at LEAST an hour a day working on my new as of yet untitled novel. Doctor\u2019s orders\u2014gotta do it!<\/p>\n

But I also spend my day speaking to my family, enjoying being with my wife, reading and discussing the actual news, playing with\u00a0our animals\u2026<\/p>\n

In short, working toward getting better and living life.<\/p>\n

For my upcoming birthday post, I will be writing about 2016 and things I need to change to better enjoy my second chance at life.<\/p>\n

But for now, I\u2019m smiling a lot more\u2026and for the first time in years, I\u2019ve been getting up every morning saying\u2014NOT \u201cWhat do I need to get done today?\u201d\u2014but just \u201cToday is going to be a great day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feels pretty good.<\/p>\n

Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
